Show-Reviews

Show Reviews

See IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic ratings while you browse Netflix and Prime Video — without leaving the page.

Hover over a movie or show, open the extension, and get ratings, cast, plot, poster, and awards in one place.

Install

From the Chrome Web Store (recommended)

1. Open the Show Reviews listing on the Chrome Web Store.
2. Click Add to Chrome.
3. Confirm when Chrome asks for permission.
4. Pin the extension from the puzzle icon in the toolbar so it’s easy to open.

Install from this repository

Use this if the extension isn’t on the store yet, or you want the latest version from GitHub.

1. Download or clone this repo.
2. In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions.
3. Turn on Developer mode (top right).
4. Click Load unpacked and choose the show-reviews folder (the one that contains manifest.json).
5. Pin Show Reviews from the extensions menu.

How to use

1. Go to Netflix or Prime Video.
2. Hover over any movie or series thumbnail for a second or two.
3. Click the Show Reviews icon in your toolbar.
4. The popup shows ratings, poster, plot, cast, and more for that title.

If nothing appears, hover a different title or try again — some thumbnails don’t expose a clear name to the extension.

What it can do

• IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic ratings (when available)
• Poster, plot, director, writer, cast, and awards
• Works on Netflix and Prime Video browse pages
• Caches recent lookups on your device so repeat hovers are faster

Privacy & security

• The extension does not ask you for an API key and does not ship one in the code. Movie lookups go through a backend service; any database credentials stay on the server, not in your browser.
• We don’t collect your Netflix or Prime account details.
• When you hover a title, only the visible title text is sent to fetch public movie metadata. See PRIVACY.md for full details.

Troubleshooting

Issue	What to try
“Title not found”	Hover another thumbnail; some rows use vague labels.
Slow first lookup	The metadata service may be waking up; wait a few seconds and hover again.
Popup says “Other tab”	Open Netflix or Prime Video, hover a title, then open the popup.
Extension missing after update	Re-enable it under chrome://extensions or reload the unpacked folder.
